Enable is the backbone of Greater Christchurch's fibre infrastructure.

We’ve worked hard to bring ultra-fast fibre broadband to over 150,000 connected homes, business, and schools in the Greater Christchurch area.

To ensure our fibre coverage area’s ‘infrastructure things’ are ‘smart things’  we’re now working closely with councils, utility providers, environmental groups, and government agencies.

What does it mean to be a Smart City? 

Worldwide, utility companies and local councils are utilising the resilience and speed of fibre broadband to create safer, cleaner and smarter living environments.

From traffic-monitoring CCTV cameras to smart furniture, our fibre network is the key to delivering Christchurch’s Smarter Cities promise.

Enabling innovations through fibre connectivity

By providing essential connectivity to non-premises locations, we can improve the quality and efficiency of the services that local agencies provide our community.                             

CCTV traffic & monitoring

‘Smart’ traffic and monitoring systems can identify open parking spots, ease traffic congestion and enhance public spaces with responsive systems.

Utility companies

Fibre boosts data transmission for smart grids, better maintenance and dependable services - making utilities smarter, faster and more reliable.

Property development

Connecting temporary sites enables faster communication and efficient project management - driving growth and innovation in the industry.

Digital signage

Fibre-powered digital signage allows for high-speed data transfer, enabling real-time content updates, vibrant displays and remote monitoring for enhanced communication and engagement.

Connected communities

Fibre transforms public spaces by facilitating streamlined waste management, providing charging stations for devices, offering free Wi-Fi access in cities, and supporting interactive maps and audio guides.

Events

Large scale sporting events, concerts and festivals are revolutionised with lightning-fast connectivity, seamless streaming, Wi-Fi hotspots and robust security for an unparalleled experience.
